Lalbagh Fort, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Is
there anyone who belongs to the subcontinent does not know about the Mughal
period? I am pretty sure there is not anyone.Mughal rulers built some significant structures during there period and
Lalbagh Fort is one of them. The another name of the Fort is Fort Aurangabad.

It is an incomplete Mughal palace, situated at old Dhaka. The construction of the Fort started by Prince
Muhammad Azam in 1678 AD. After Azam Shaista Khan was the next ruler of Bengal but he did not continue the work. The daughter of
Shaista Khan named Bibi Pari(Lady Fairy) died in 1684 and she was led in the
fort. The design of the Fort was awesome. In that time it was consists of three
buildings- the mosque, the tomb of Pari bibi and the Diwan-i-Aam. The total
area of the fort is 18 acres. Now there we find several roof gardens and
fountains. There are two main gates available for the tourists. The main
attraction of the fort is the tomb of Pari bibi. The Diwan-I-Aam isis attached with a Hammam. The big water tank (71.63 m)
is situated at the front of Diwan-I-Aam. The Lalbagh Fort is now used as the
most popular tourist spot in the busy Dhaka
city. The fort is probably open for the tourists during 10 am- 6 pm.
